It hasn’t taken long for the local restaurant community to rally around Nathanial Zimet, the chef-owner of Boucherie who was shot in an apparent robbery attempt early Sunday morning.

Ted Jackons/The Times-PicayuneBoucherie is open for business as Nathanial Zimet, its chef and co-owner, recovers after being shot early Sunday morning.

While Zimet remains in the hospital recovering, his restaurant was open for business today. Eating at Boucherie is one way to support the ailing chef, but it’s not the only way.

Brigtsen’s is donating proceeds from all of its bottled wine sales on Thursday night to the Nathanial Zimet Fund, which has been set up at Capitol One Bank.

Pizza Delicious announced today on Twitter it would be donating “20% of sales and all tips” from Thursday and Sunday to Zimet.

Taking a cue from Brigtsen’s, Adolfo Garcia said he would donate proceeds of next Thursday’s wine sales at three of his restaurants – RioMar, a Mano and La Boca – to the Nathanial Zimet Fund. (Garcia said his two new restaurants aren't likely to be open in time to participate.)

According to Kevin Allman over at Gambit, there is also a benefit beer tasting in the works.
